I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    About 10 years here. That’s why I had Apollo. I filtered out all that shit. Everything you could imagine. Hundreds of things hidden.

    Eventually I had a home feed of crafts, patientgamers, every cat sub you can imagine, bread, and a bunch of other peaceful things.

    Before that I was just so angry all the time and arguing with redditors. I won’t go back to all that.

      Don’t know how one could possibly use the site without filters from apps like that or RES. it’s so chaotic.

      Yeah. Conservatives are all about the reasoned, rational discourse and would never say anything that anyone would consture as hate speech. /eyeroll
